Special Movie Presentation in Memory of Audrey Murphy
The library will host a Special Movie on Wednesday February 1st at 6:30 p.m. We visit the lawless frontier village of Shinbone, a town plagued by a larger-than-life nemesis, Liberty Valance. The town lawyer and a local rancher share the same desire to rid the town of Liberty Valance and winning the hand of the same woman. The movie stars Lee Marvin, James Stewart and John Wayne. The movie is shown in memorial to Audrey Murphy, who was both a supporter of the library and a great John Wayne fan.

If you are really going to miss a football game this weekend you can try one of these titles. I Beat the Odds: from Homelessness, to the Blind Side and Beyond by Michael Oher is the story of Michael Oher of the Baltimore Ravens, whose story was popularized by the book and movie The Blind Side.

When Pride Still Mattered by David Maraniss is the story of legendary coach Vince Lombardi, who coached the Green Bay Packers to the very first NFL/ AFL championship in 1967.

The Sacred Acre: the Ed Thomas Story by Mark A. Tabb tells the story of the community of Parkersburg, Iowa, which in the same year survived an F-5 tornado and the murder of their high school football coach, Ed Thomas. This is a tremendous story from a local perspective.
